Israeli Hostage Release Sparks Outrage, Delays Palestinian Prisoner FreedomThe release of Israeli and Thai hostages in Gaza was marred by chaotic scenes, prompting Israeli leaders to condemn the event and temporarily delay the release of Palestinian prisoners. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu paused the planned release of 110 Palestinian detainees after footage showed a large crowd celebrating the handover of the hostages in Khan Younis. While the release of Israeli soldier Agam Berger proceeded smoothly, the handover of two Israeli and five Thai civilians resulted in images of a jubilant crowd jostling the freed hostages. This incident sparked concerns of a repeat of a previous tragedy where Israeli soldiers were killed by a Palestinian mob. Later in the day, 110 Palestinian prisoners, including a former militant leader, were released from Ofer Prison in the West Bank, met with jubilation in Ramallah but met with restrictions by Israeli forces.
